You'll be missed!

Hey, great news Paul! Come play :D How about I take Tabby and James, they're both very downtown and on my way to hwy 50. Ben and Paul, why don't you guys ride together? You're both west enders :) Cheers!

Yup, four with James. I did a lesson with him on Tuesday at MSM, and he's a great rider! We all have similar wheels; sedans or wagons without roof boxes. We can do two and two or Ben can go lone wolf styles! I'm up for driving, so who's riding with me? So... key question: who knows if there's parking on the Soleil side? If the weather is nice, I think it'd be awesome to switch modes to drinking beer on the beautiful deck at the Soleil refuge... it's got a killer view and sun exposure. Then we can stumble down to our cars at the bottom :D Wheeeeeeee!

I might be convinced :) I can probably be flexible on the day, so if the Thursday works for James, let's do that?

Sometimes carving seems like a strange challenge. Then I saw this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDZG1yB1aoo :P

Hey JKarve! I'm one of your local riders, and have led teaching sessions here in Ottawa for the last two seasons. I enjoy teaching and helping others get their carves powered up, so maybe we can meet up some time. If you covered my lift ticket, I'd be your personal instructor for at least 3 hrs :) I'd like to give you some tips based on the video, but it's hard to see what's going on. The better the video, the better the feedback I can give. Do you have a friend with a camera that zooms? That's an easy way to get tighter HD shots. Follow-cam footage with GoPros is okay too. Cheers :)

Dude! Sorry to hear about that toe bail. Not cool. Did I ride 'em that hard, or did you? :P

Yup. It's always bittersweet when the warm temps and sun come.... makes for not-great conditions. The only thing you can do is try to go once it softens mid-day, and enjoy the rays :D

I'm passing on tonight, but am hitting Tremblant on Friday with Tabby and Phil :)

^ That's weird... I haven't seen issues. Maybe that's just folks with poor tires. Those hills are steep, but they've always been well cleared and sanded when I've been in.

Sold to Loopback, thanks for your attention!

Loopback is a local, and will check these liners out over the next few days...

Ok... your place at 6:15?

If it's warmer than -15 I'll go, but I'm tired of riding in the cold cold cold

Hi Folks, I bought these Dreamliners a couple seasons ago, and they didn't fit my foot/shell combo very well. They seem like good liners; warm, medium volume, medium stiffness, and they adapt to your foot/shell through normal use so you don't have to cook 'em. They've only been out a few days, so they're pretty mint. Details on Intuition's site: https://intuitionliners.com/the-liners/dreamliner/ I'm only looking for about $50 for these plus shipping costs. Who wants 'em? Cheers! Ian M :D

Hi everyone! I won't be out tonight, I really feel like a chill night in. It's a great temperature to ride though, so go rip it up while it's not -263. FYI Ryan mentioned that he might head to Edelweiss for a change in pace, that's not confirmed though, so check with him to make sure. (HiLux) Cheers :D

Last night at Cascades was indeed fun. It's so nice to watch y'all ride, and have someone to follow :D Considering that the kids leave around 7pm, I might aim for later next week. Probably start riding around 6:30-7.

Hey Peter! Chris and I are aiming to join the Pureboarding event at Mont Blanc on Jan 31-Feb1. I'm booked for this weekend though, so no Syracuse.

I'm in for Tuesday too! See y'all tomorrow. Wait - what time are people aiming for? Somebody say a number ;-)

Anyone planning on sliding on Saturday? The temps look reasonable :)

That's really cool, Johnny! Thanks for sharing :D

^ +1!! Great website update, Bruce, and your Nirvana Energy is still all I ride :)

Hi Johnny, the bag has been spoken for, but I hadn't posted yet. It's a pain in the butt not getting notifications! Did you recover well from that concussion you had last season? I hope you're ready and able to ride this year :)

Thanks for looking, these bindings are SOLD.

Sure lamby, can do. Please send an an email to me at ian mackenzi at gmail dot com (remove all spaces, and the 'e' on the end of my last name really is omitted from the email address) with your shipping address, and we can go from there. Cheers!
